The Crown Inn Restaurant in Cotswold

It was our first visit to the delightful Cirencester. Lunch and a nice drink were definitely in the plans and after a rather snotty and somewhat rude welcome at The Fleece (clearly they are very complacent) we were directed to The Crown by a very nice shop assistant in Crew Clothing. The staff at The Crown were extremely friendly and efficient and the food was excellent value. We will return!

Exceptional Indian food. On an extremely busy New Year’s Eve, the service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Well done everyone at The Crown Inn and thank you for wonderful evening.

It's always good to be well served, my family and I love to be well received and this place offers excellent service, always with a smile on his face comes to serve us, the food is perfect, it even seems out of another world! I loved everything I saw in this place you are grade 10, keep it u

Had a fantastic curry at the Crown, definitely recommend and most certainly will be returning

18 of us came here for a lunch for my friends 30th today. The food was great, the staff were so lovely and attentive, would definitely recommend. Lovely country pub that do a great curry!

Excellent service, atmosphere and food. Thank you.

The lady on reception was so nice, we were only there for coffee and a brandy 🥃 before a look around the Market .But our visit to this hotel made us decide to come back again for lunch and maybe more. A fine hotel in Cirencester. Thoroughly recommend

On a Sunday evening when it’s hard to find any pub serving food we stumbled across the Crown. We are so glad we did! So friendly and welcoming, the food -sizzling paneer and a chicken Biryani were really delicious as were the starters. The menu was a fusion but we stuck with Indian and everything was cooked and presented really well. The service was faultless and I know we will be back. A thoroughly wonderful evening that was reasonable as well.

Had an Indian there the was very good cheerful helpful staff would highly recommend

I've got to give this a 5 star! We'd booked a table, and as soon as we walked into the pub we were greeted by the owner. We explained we'd like a drink first and were in no rush to eat, and it was no problem. When we did eat, however, the food was fabulous. Exceptional Indian dishes, and well worth the wait. I would recommend this to anyone. Not only that, however, but all the staff were extremely pleasant. The young lad who served us had a degree of confidence above his age. Not in a cheeky way, just that he was exceptionally welcoming. A refreshing attitude. And the same has to be said for the young lady behind the bar. She was a delight

Friendly staff and a warm welcome. Menu of Indian, beef burgers and tacos which is unusual. We had home made samosas, peshwari naan, chicken tikka masala and prawn curry. All were hot and very tasty. The only beer on tap was Adam Hensons pale ale but it was ok. The interior of the pub reads very much like an English pub. Nice log fire and big garden not far from a pretty stream.

The best curry we have had in a long time!

Another meal here, Amazing food and staff that make you so very welcome. All provided at a fantastic price. No curry like it for miles and miles.

What a fabulous find! We are visiting the area for a couple of days and picked The Crown out of the hat, as it were. What a lucky find. Fantastic food, wonderful staff, great ambience and very reasonable...when we are next around the area we will definitely be back!

Had a great lunch today, one main + rice + naan bread + pint £20.00. Super service and lovely place. Only marked the atmosphere down a little because it was very quiet. Will definitely be going again. Plenty of parking and a roaring log fire, what’s not to like.

Great atmosphere and food, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Mo and the team look after us from start to finish. Would definitely go again when in the area.

Beautiful pub in idyllic surroundings, staff are very welcoming, friendly, and attentive, but not so that it is intrusive. Food was fabulous and good portion sizes. Will definitely be returning!

Glad we booked beforehand on a Saturday night as it was full. And no wonder - we had a marvelous meal at very good prices and really excellent, friendly service. A shame we do not live locally!

We stumbled upon The Crown after leaving another restaurant due to the kitchen being closed. My Wife and I each had a drink while waiting for our food and they were not stingy with the alcohol. The food was excellent, full of flavor and large portions. The staff were very friendly and very attentive. Recommend the coconut prawns.

Really cosy pub serving amazing Indian food. Staff really friendly and welcoming, lots of choice.

Excellent curry at lunchtime an unexpected treat. Although mine could have been more spicy.

Had a lovely meal at The Crown this evening. The food was fabulous and beautifully presented. Our party was quite large, but the staff were very helpful and attentive, nothing was too much trouble.

Dinner was outstanding!!! They had a big group so service did get slow towards the end but overall serve was TOP notch and food is delicious 😋

The staff were incredibly polite and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. The warm, inviting atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great evening.

Food is brilliant, we had a takeaway and there were some mistakes with the order but the guys delivered us the correct bits in minutes. Incredible service.

Rapidly sorted us out with a table for 7, children & adults were all impressed with the really good food. One of the best currys I've had - definitely recommend.

Anglo Indian cuisine meets a traditional English country pub. Fantastic food, served by friendly, enthusiastic staff, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much guys, keep up the great work!!

Super busy on a Friday night so service a bit hit and miss. Food is interesting. Indian familiar dishes and then some hybrid Indian dishes too e.g. burgers, wraps, tacos etc Kids however absolutely nailed their chicken curry.

We had a very nice meal here. Service was really good even though it was busy. Great choices on the menu

This place is absolutely fantastic for food and booze.what a good evening every time

Fantastic food and atmosphere! It really was an exceptionally delicious meal and we would highly recommend. Good value and we cannot wait to return!

Great curry and brilliant service well worth a visit

Great find. This former village pub now provides exceptional Anglo Indian food. Light snacks to full meals. Service is welcoming and efficient. Definitely one for a return visit !

Great place In a Cotswold village. Very fussy about my curry's, and the Crown is always fantastic. Prices are amazing and staff always make you welcome. Always at the top of the list for a meal out.

Nothing was too much trouble. Friendly staff, imaginative menu and great atmosphere. Whist on our 25th wedding anniversary break in the Cotswolds we booked a table at The Crown Inn we were so impressed we booked again 2 nights later.

Excellent food, friendly, timely service. Unfortunately the booking was made for a family Sunday roast as advertised on the hoarding at the Cirencester Road/Cerney Wick Lane junction...Beer Garden, Dog Friendly, Sunday Roast. The waiter confirmed this was not an option on any sunday. So 4 points for the meal and 1 deducted for the disappointment. Would definitely eat there again and would recommend but next time will know what to expect.

Stopped off at what we thought was a country pub found it was an Indian resteruant. Amazing food and great service.

Very busy which can only be a good sign! The staff were great, really friendly even though they were clearly spinning plates, our table was delayed because of a big party bookin but the staff sorted it. The food was gorgeous, if you can't get a table get a takeaway! Fresh, hot, tasty, so much choice and a good price. A really great bustling atmosphere, really recommend.

This was our first visit but certainly won't be our last. The food was excellent, the service warm and friendly and atmosphere warm and welcoming. Well Done the Team.

Great pub with great curry for the perfect British dishes

Booked a few days in advance based on recommendations. Table of 4, so not a big group. Drinks took ages, but the barman said he had added a bit extra due to the wait. Waited an hour and half for food to arrive and 2 of the 4 meals were wrong and naan was basically raw. No one had been back for further drinks order in that time either. One replacement meal came back in around 3minutes and was clearly something thrown together in a rush. Watery and flavourless. At that point we decided to leave so I asked for the bill to pay for drinks and we were being charged for doubles, but only ordered singles. The chef came out and apologized but said it was because they were so busy, if we had come on another night our experience would have been different. Having worked in the industry, that's a very poor excuse from a chef. If you can't provide a consistently good level of service, then don't over commit on bookings! We have no issue waiting for good food, but this was a joke!!

Food was great, dogs were welcome.. recommend booking, we went on Wednesday evening and it was busy.. definitely will visit again..

Great service Great Food and very dog friendly

We visited The Crown last night and I have never ever had such good food and service! The menu was amazing so much food to choose from! The restaurant is authentic and the food was absolutely stunning! The staff was very friendly and funny which creates a great atmosphere! Would definitely recommend this restaurant 💯🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a lovely dinner here! We were very impressed with the food and value for money!

When we stumbled across this country pub on our first night in the area, the car park was full and didn’t know if we’d get a table. Even though they were fully booked, they sorted out a table in the bar for our family of 3 to eat, which we were so grateful for. Then when we saw the menu, to our delight there was a mix of English and Asian food. We eat out a lot and this was hands down THE best Indian food we’ve eaten, so much so our young son now loves Indian food. The service was also top class. Highly recommend you book in if you’re in the area.

Great find whilst staying in the area for a few days! Fab food, service and warm atmosphere and dog friendly!

Had a lovely meal at The Crown tonight for the last night of our holiday. Glad we booked a table as it was busy, even on a Thursday night. Service was great, staff were very friendly. There was a problem with our bill, some drinks had accidentally been added on that weren't ours but that was sorted out no problem. The food was all lovely. We sat in the bar as we had our dog with us. Atmosphere was good on the whole although we were a bit annoyed by one local in there with a German Shepherd dog called Suki who let his dog run around without really paying attention to what she was doing. His friend looked out for her more than the owner did. Suki wandered over to our table 3 or 4 times once she spotted our dog hiding under the table which was very annoying. Our dog was just lying in a corner under the table out of the way, but she can be nervous because she's a rescue dog, so we were having to closely to monitor the situation every time Suki came over which ruined the meal slightly. Apart from that though it was a great meal and a lovely way to end our holiday. I'm glad we found this place! Would definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing place, we called in on our way back from London and was not disappointed. On entering we were greeted by the staff and made welcome straight away. They led us to a table and as there was only two of us was going to sit at a smaller table. The host suggest a bigger table as the portion sizes are bigger than we would think. We sat down and looked at the menu and there was so much choice and it all looked amazing. It was suggested that we go for the smaller plates to share and we thought that was a great idea and picked three each to share. When we ordered the waiter again told us that the food is quite large but we still went a head and ordered the 6 dishes. The food came quick and looked amazing, the presentation was top notch and I must admit we looked at eachother and said we have ordered to much. The pictures do not do this food justice as every bite was full of flavour! This place is a must visit location and if we are back down south we will definitely be calling in again.

Wonderfully different fusion of an old pub with an Indian twist. Well definitely be back .

Had a really nice meal here , nice country pub with some great Indian dishes, good prices also, loved my meal and would go back anytime

We stopped here while on holiday in late June. We initially chose it for its convenient location, after a long day of traveling. But we enjoyed it so much we went out of our way to return the next night to explore more of the menu. Great atmosphere, prompt friendly service, outstanding food, nearby walking trails, and a nice outdoor seating area. Absolutely worth a visit.

For an unplanned visit, it was fantastic

Best Indian food I've had in a long time. Awesome atmosphere!

Excellent fusion food in lovely old pub.

Really lovely pub with a great Indian menu. Food was fresh and delicious, would definitely recommend.

Great curry. Excellent service.

We stumbled across this amazing place by chance and are so glad we did . It’s so clever ! A pub that you can relax with a drink indoors or in the lovely garden but you can also order food including the most delicious Anglo Indian fusion food . The experience was incredible. The food is delicious and authentic. We consider ourselves fussy and have eaten in many restaurants selling Indian food including London . This restaurant has by far surpassed our expectations. All the food was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented and full of flavour and spice . We ate there on two consecutive days. However this experience goes further. There is a family that run this wonderful establishment and they are so truly welcoming and friendly. Foyez is so personable and made us feel very much welcome . His conversation and humour made a simple meal out into a wonderful and memorable night out . All of the staff were so lovely and polite . There is a lovely vibe here. We can’t recommend this lovely place more highly. If you are looking for high quality, tasty food in a wonderful location with amazing, welcoming staff look no further. Love Maria and Paul ( Essex )

We booked a table as we were staying at the De Vere water park hotel which is a 5 minute drive away, the staff were friendly and we had good service, the food was lovely I had a jugulu chicken curry which I had never heard of before it was really tasty, my husband had a Rogan josh which he said waa nice but he wishes he had asked for it to be aittle more spicy but he ate it all as he said it was still nice. Would definitely go again if we come back again to stay in the Cotswolds.

Great food, portion size was massive and the food was very tasty! Great service from the staff, who’re very friendly and welcoming… we’re visiting the area and highly recommend you pop into here if you’re staying nearby!

So good, the food was excellent really helpful team and great service, lovely interior and the beer garden is stunning

This was a hopping place and very pleasant staff. Loved that people brought their dogs for happy hours. I will definitely recommend this pub.

A quaint little pub, with Indian fusion food, amazing atmosphere, tucked in a little village in South Cerney. Mo was very warm n pleasant. Def a place to visit!

Omgosh what a fantastic pub/Indian restaurant. Excellent food and service. Food was delicious. Really friendly staff too. Five stars 🤩

Nice location and good service.

Great food and service, will be back.

So good we are going back tonight, excellent Indian food.

We were in the area on a family holiday and found this amazing dog friendly Indian restaurant/pub by chance while out for a dog walk. We had a chat with the owner while we got a drink and looked at the menu, we asked if he could make a Balti as it wasn’t on the menu which he said was not a problem, so we decided to go back the next night for a meal. The Balti was the best we have ever had (without exaggeration) others in our party of 5 had other dishes and were also equally impressed with the quality and taste of the food. The cost was reasonable and the staff were brilliant. The only issue is we live so far away, but will definitely be going back when we are next in the area. If you are in the area this is a place you must visit if you like curry.

The Crown is a gem tucked into the Cotswold Water Park region. Spacious seating, excellent service, and delicious food were all highlights of our meal. The presentation of the food was on bar with much higher price tiers of restaurant and far from the pub standard. The Crown is a must-visit for those visiting the area and locals alike.

Lovely place, decor was on point and the food was delicious. The staff was polite, considerate and very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, drink and atmosphere. It was lovely to hear staff engaging with customers and having a laugh.

Absolutely amazing venue to celebrate a birthday or anniversary but equally perfect for just a nice drink and great atmosphere… highly recommend it here, always a positive experience coming here… would recommend it to everyone….

Gorgeous garden and Indian food for lunch. Dog friendly and vegan friendly. Staff could not do enough to make our stay better. Highly recommended to all

We were staying in an air bnb local to this pub - and we were thrilled with the food, the service and the hospitality of the owners here. Will definitely re visit. We even ordered food to take home with us the next day.

Staff and governor very good and attentive Visited the Crown twice this week and was made very welcome Would recommend people to visit if on the area 👍

2nd visit in a week !!! Just the best novel takes on Indian cuisine cooked to perfection and served with big smiles …. And b reasonably priced too inc the beer!!!

Decided to make the most of the weather and walk with the dogs from Cricklade. We managed to sit outside which was lovely. The service was a bit slow but the food was more than worth it! Fabulous flavour and presentation. Can't wait to walk up more to try some more dishes!

Excellent food and service. Waiter very informative and provided us with valuable suggestions on what to have. Defo recommend if in the area.

A beautiful pub inside and out, with food and service to match. Very welcoming staff serving superb Indian food and good beer. Will return.

We enjoyed a fantastic Easter Sunday afternoon meal here. The location and venue are ideal. The manager and staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel very much at home. The service was ideally paced being unhurried and accomodating. The food was exceptional, perfectly spiced and presented with a fine attention to detail. I would strongly recommend this restaurant and look forward to our next visit.

Only popped in for a drink but service was great. Good beer. Friendly staff. The food smelled great.

Amazing place! Food is delicious! And the staff are so friendly!

My husband used to come to this pub 60 years ago when he came from Swindon with his father to fish the nearby river. They were able to buy a fishing permit for the day in the pub. Today, we returned for his 75th birthday. Obviously, the pub looks a bit different from how it looked 60 years ago but it has been very sympathetically renovated and extended and is decorated in a pleasing style. The food was lovely. We are both very fond of Indian food and each enjoyed a 3 course meal. The dishes were not heavy or too much, as can be the case. It is not often that we eat 3 courses these days. We will definitely be returning. We had booked our table in advance. Given the review before mine, it seems a good idea to book for the evening, especially with a large party. Booking online is easy.

Fantastic food and amazing service, thank you Foyez and the team. We will be definitely be back!

Brilliant pub restaurant, excellent service and made very welcome.

Wonderful place . Manager was really accommodating and personal. One of the best places in the area highly recommend . Special shout out to Fiaz

Popped in for a drink… roaring fire, friendly host, dog friendly.. treats given for free..Didn’t stay for food but the curry looked delicious. Will defo go for food on our next trip

Great find - such good Indian food which was a surprise for a pub in this area. I grew up in Durban and used to amazing indian food so good job to all !

The management, notably the restaurant manager Foyez Rahman, fell significantly short of expectations during our lunch visit today with a party of 10, including children. We experienced an unparalleled level of hostility. The restaurant managers approach was extremely rude, demeaning, and condescending. Upon merely inquiring about the availability for dining and space, he curtly informed us that the restaurant was at capacity and demanded that we 'Go home.' His conduct took a more troubling turn when he inappropriately touched my shoulder, emphasizing that the restaurant was fully booked.His persistent demands and inappropriate behavior were both shocking and completely out of line, reflecting a blatant disregard for the fundamental aspects of hospitality, which is rooted in respecting and prioritizing customers.

This is the best Indian food you will ever eat… it’s delicious! The service is first class, all the staff are amazing and so friendly! Make you feel very welcome… the food is outstanding.. cannot fault in any way.. this is our new ‘go to’ place… the traditional pub feel with something very special! don’t think we’ll eat authentic Indian food anywhere else again.. simply amazing… I’d recommend it here for everyone… first class in every way… thank goodness we found it so soon after we moved this way.

Food excellent, service very good and atmosphere very friendly staff as well differently recommended & will go back.

We stopped here just because it was a convenient break on our journey... I was not expecting to be presented with such a delicious array of amazing, interesting Indian dishes! Great spice, flavour, variety, presentation, good vegetarian options. I'll be finding excuses to come back even though it's over an hour from my house

Superb food, great service and lovely ambience. We had a delicious meal selected from a refreshingly different menu. Highly recommend you visit, we will be back soon 👍🏼

A very nice country pub with friendly and accommodating staff. The food was very nice and appropriate portion sizes. Dog friendly!

Staff are really friendly and quick. The building is lovely and the food was fantastic! We had a lamb naga and the birthday suit with all sundries and extras. It was so full of flavour and didn't break the bank. Will definitely eat here again.

We had a lovely lunch here, Indian food at its best! Thoroughly recommend the Birthday Suit - lamb and potato with just the right of spice, service was lovely will definitely return

Would definitely recommend visiting this lovely restaurant. Stayed in the water park just up the road and it’s a must if you’re staying in that area. Food was faultless and the staff were great. Visited as a family.

Delicious authentic curry. Friendly staff. Can’t wait to go back again

We had such a fabulous evening at the Crown Inn. The staff were so welcoming & very happy to make sure we had exactly what we wanted, nothing was too much trouble. The food was freshly cooked to order & was outstanding! Some of the best tasting & most interesting Indian food we’ve had. Excellent value for money too!! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Staying in the area for a course and seen the menu online, great selection of food. When arrived at the crown; had a great atmosphere, the staff were friendly and chatty. The food is beautiful! Well presented and a great selection excellent value for money and highly recommend! Will definitely be back again when next in the area.
